letra de aotearoa - tipene

verse 1 (te reo pakeha)
heretaunga plains through the ruahine range
in the bay’s where you’ll find me
te tairawhiti east coast hawke’s bay te matau a maui
people of the land whakapapa genealogy solid as a palm tree
navigators of the globe waka takitimu ngati kahungunu hearty
i represent my lineage my bloodline maunga, awa back to the people
the pride runs deep and we represent 100 percent
everywhere that we go
aotearoa translates to the land of the long white cloud
rep it in the song right nowlaunching off the riverbank
steady dropping bombs like blaaoow!
we are descendants of tipuna aboard
every waka from the great fleet
voyage from legendary lands of hawaiiki nui
hawaiiki roa hawaiiki pamamao
navigating by the stars led us to a land afar
we began habitation building fortified pā
whakapapa using landmarks
passed down from our gods
laid down the foundation i represent the nation

chorus
rep in te āo(in life)
rep in te pō(in death)
know that i represent aotearoa
rep in te āo(in life)

(verse 2 te reo māori)
i te paeroa, o heretaunga ki runga ruahine whenua ngāti
from the plains of heretaunga to the top of ruahine is ngati land

te tai rāwhiti, ko heretaunga, ki te matau-a-maui
the east coast , hastings in te matau a maui

ko taku hononga ki te papa, he rite anō ki te kauri
my connection to the land can be likened to that of the kauri

whakatere waka, rere āwhio ana, ngāti kahungunu haati
waka navigation, sailing around that globe… ngati kahungunu hearty

i te maunga ki te awa
he kānohi au tūturu mā te iwi
from the mountain to the river, i’m a face of my people

me he kaahu i te rangi e haro ana tū toa manawa tītī
pride likened to the kaahu that glides in the sky, stand strong and persevere like the tītī

ko te ngako o aōtearoa (the point of aotearoa)
he whenua whitinga roa (is to be a land of abiding light)
ehara i te pahupahu noa (it’s not just smack talk)
māku te wero e kawe ko au te toa (i’ll be the champion who will carry the challenge)

ko tākitimu te waka, nā tamatea mai tawhiti(takitimu is the waka it was by tamatea)
te ara i whao i hawaiki roa, hawaiki nui hawaiki pamamao
ko te mātauranga te tāonga tuku iho (the knowledge was gift passed down)
tātai whetū he kura tawhito (star navigation is an ancient knowledge)
kātahi ka hanga pātūwatawata (they quickly established fortified pa)
hei para huarahi ki taku whakapapa (paved the many strands that make up my whakapapa)
